I've got 2 questions:
1) What is the difference between the Radeon cards and the GeForce cards? I understand that GeForce is NVIDIA and Radeon is ATI, but how do their numbers compare? I see that GeForce has their 9 Series but then I see that Radeon is only up to 4000.
then my second question is this the card I picked out(9500 GT) is:
"
2) Would the difference in that card and a "gaming" card be:
A) its memory size? 512MB vs 1BG? (I know that larger memory is better, but I'm asking if the reason this card is only "good enough" is because it only has 512MB or if there are other more important reasons I should be watching for.)
B) the fact that it's a "GT" vs... "whatever is 'better' than GT"?
C) the fact that its an NVIDIA card?
D) all of the above?
I just don't know what too look for when it comes to video cards. I don't need something awesome for my moms computer, but I'm also trying to keep in mind things I would like to have for MY next machine ^_^
